Its That Time! August 2015 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

Well....I missed last months roll call and this one is very late but better late then never. So with that said, its roll call time. This is a thread where you introduce yourself and post your clean time. You do not have to be clean to participate...rather, use this as an opportunity to introduce yourself. For those that are clean, please share about it and spread the message of hope and recovery.

I too have been Sober for about 8 years although I slipped twice with the booze I have been in recovery and out of active addiction for 7 years. I was clean the first 5 years Then needed pain meds, as of today I take 1 10mg Methadone a day and 0.1mg Ativan twice a day. I no longer claim clean time although I do still count my time in Recovery for I'm not active in my addiction and I'm being monitored by my Dr. My Hubby doles out the meds as I want no risk He also wears the key to the gun cabinet where the meds are kept.. lesa

I am impressed with all the clean time all of you are racking up!!  As for me i have been clean about 71/2 yrs off opiates and around 14 yrs off alcohol.  I saw something today and it really hit home with me...."The 2 words that saved my life..Help Me"  When i finally decided this was bigger than me i reached out.  Best thing i ever did~

Stay on board brane and you will win the game. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain if you just keep trying. So MsD here. I'm in the 700 club now, pretty close to 2 years of percocet and whatever opiates I could get my hands on. This place saved me. Thank you all and thanks to ABN (our tv star) for keeping this going.

Still here trying to find my way.

[charlie_coldturkey_tn2015]

79 days clean. Haven't posted in a while but really enjoy the love and support I found here. Still at the beginning of my journey down recovery road and learning that getting off the pills was actually the easy part. The hard stuff comes with learning to live each day on life's terms without the mask and fog of this addiction. Sounds tough and some days it is, but wouldn't trade this freedom from the pills for anything. Thanks for the roll call shout out. Really good idea. Love always. Charlie

[Ronda8899]

My name is Ronda. I'm pretty new here. I'm going on 4 days sober.

[VICourageous]

My name is Vickie and I have....

1071 days from using this or that for over 40yrs..(off&on)
I DO work aftercare in many ways. Would not be here if I did not..Still a Babe in the woods!

4159 from the Bars and the Stores.

Thanks to all the ones who have always been here for me and mostly during my losses of my Parents and other family members in such a short time, to having 2 Heart Procedures. I have faith that it has calmed down for awhile here..lol

Bless us ALL for taking that first Step and continuing to build our Foundation toward Recovery.
Vickie

[toothfairie]

Hi everyone....1013 days for me!  Thanks ABN for the post....congrats everyone on their clean time or the desire to stop.  :)  

[tooter212]

22 months here. Have started taking 10mg, 2x day., the last week. The back surgery didn't work. Between that and the nerve pain I can't stand it. So the pills make it bearable. Hope that still counts

Hi ABN, glad you and this thread are back. Like Motye, I go to meetings almost daily at over 14 months. It's the difference between being clean and sane vs using and insane for me.

[pillguy]

My sobriety is measured in months, not years.  7 months of clean time.   I HAVE been going to the oral surgery clinic and getting a tooth pulled every month.  I have 15 teeth left.  When those are gone I'm off to the colonoscopy clinic.  My clean time still counts, right?

Cheers,
